Anjali

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is gearing up for the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray. It is being said that the issue of Savarkar's alleged insult will be brought to the fore again to neutralize the opposition's issue of the Constitution.


Rahul Gandhi is likely to raise issues like the Constitution, inflation, unemployment, caste census and other issues that are troubling the BJP in the state. If they want to stop this jumla, they can be cornered on the issue of Savarkar. If the BJP takes an aggressive stand on the Savarkar issue, then the Thackeray group, which is a part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), can also be defeated. The BJP is planning a strategy in this regard. Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a public meeting in Gujarat. Savarkar wrote an apology letter to the British. He helped the boys. Rahul Gandhi had tweeted about it too. He had also made statements against Savarkar in a speech in London. Savarkar's grandson Satyaki Savarkar has filed a defamation case against Rahul Gandhi in a Pune court. All these issues are likely to become very sensitive politically in the atmosphere of the assembly elections in the state.


I am not Savarkar, I will not apologise: Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha However, sources claimed that the BJP can give an emotional campaign that the people of the state will not tolerate the insult of Savarkar. While Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena is part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi, Thackeray has already made it clear that he does not agree with Rahul Gandhi's views on Savarkar. Therefore, sources say that Uddhav Thackeray may also be forced to take a stand against Rahul Gandhi on the issue of Savarkar in the assembly elections.
